if its a C2500 frontsuspension youre using you can put the diskbrake/hubcombo from a dually on the front spindles then you can mount trucktires on the front as whell
its the stock rear end with the dually conversion kit. it still stands up to pulling a 5th wheel no problem. the truck was originally 6cyl 3 on the tree and was switch to the 350 4spd

also may end up converting the front to 1ton suspension down the road. my dad has a few projects already such as a 1936 ford, 65 ford, 78 jeep cj5, and 1940's willys flat fender jeep so will probably be years lol
